A scene from the Roseau Market<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Dominicans are being called upon to change their attitudes towards Haitian workers, particularly vendors who utilize the Roseau Market.<\/p>\n

Haitian vendors were placed under scrutiny over the past several months for vending illegally in the City.<\/p>\n

They were asked to vend only in the Roseau Market, a move that has prompted some hostility towards them by some locals.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are filling up the market and they bold on it. People like me cannot well sell my products and them Haitians all over the market taking up places locals use to have. Every time we disagree with them on something they would act wrong and strong,\u201d a local vendor told Dominica News Online.<\/p>\n

She added further that because of the practice of obeah\/witchcraft, many locals are scared to let their voices be heard about what\u2019s going on in the market.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hear vendors saying they not telling them nothing because is voodoo they doing, but me aself don\u2019t give two hoots. I want to make a living for my family. I have been in that market for more than ten years and I not making any Haitian come and tie me up,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Meantime President of the Dominica Haiti friendship Association Roland Desire told a local radio station that he is happy that the Haitian Vendors are now cooperating with the authorities in charge.<\/p>\n

He said he wants to see a change in the attitudes towards Haitian vendors in Roseau.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dominicans are being called upon to change their attitudes towards Haitian workers, particularly vendors who utilize the Roseau Market.
